I updated the optional plotting code from Requires.jl to package extensions for newer Julia versions. I kept backwards compatibility by still using Requires.jl for old Julia versions. This cuts the loading time
using GLMakie, GeoParams
for me by something between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds. However, there is still a lot of recompilation left, so this should be investigated in the future.Caveats:
using GLMakie, GeoParams
works on Julia v1.8 and v1.9. I do not know whether the plotting routines are tested in CI (see Add code coverage reports #103) but I will assume that everything is fine if CI passes.
